N Y. Tribune There seems to be no legitimate reason for the advance In coffee from q to POI cents pound in the last year. It is purely the result of operations by speculators in cotton and other prod ucts and is deprecated by the legitimate jobbers, who assert that the effect has been to drive from New York millions of dollars worth of trade which had been encouraged by the starting of the coffee exchange up- on supposed business principles. If the exchange wishes to maintain it's conner cial standing it would better rid itself of the spectators who seem to control it's business. There is also another side to this coffee gambling. It has put up the poor mans principal luxury about 200 per cent. in one year, and has brought into the market again all sorts of deleterious mixtures which had been driven out by the low prices prevailing for two or three years. Now only those who can afford to pay thirty cents and more pound can hope to get anything but aduterated cof- fec

Rev. GeOrge A. Oviatt.

Died in Sudbury, Mass, June 1, 1887, Rev. George Alexander Oviatt, aged 75.
 He was born in Bridgeport, Conn.,, in 1811: graduated at Yale in 1885 and at Yale Divinity School in 1888 was ordain- ed pastor of the church in Belchertown, Mass, in 1888, where he remained till -1S45; then became city missionary and pastor of the Shawmut Avenue church, Boston; in 1S49 he accepted the office of secretary of the Am. s. s. Union for New England in 1851 he took the pastorate of the Third Church, Ohicopee, Mass. in 1866 he was called to the charge of the church in Somers. In the war he was chaplain of the Twenty-ffth Connecticut regiment; in 1867 he accepted the pastor ate of the church in Talcottyille in 1875 he became pastor of the church in Sud bury, Mass. in 1883 his health compelled him to resign his charge. s.
 Mir. Oviatt was one of the most active and devoted ministers of Christ, alive to every interest of the church, to the welfare of man and the glory of God. His ser mons were clearly wrought, forcibly de- ivered, leaving no one to doubt his own whole-hearted reception of the truths he uttered; as sympathizing watchful pas tor, he endeared himself to many hearts in times of afliction and bereavement; as chaplain in the army and member of the Grand Army of the Republic, he gave himself to the cause with fervor of chris tian patriotism seldom witnessed. His in terest in the plain and direct presentation of the gospel, led him in the later years of his ministry to take deep interest in Hartford Theological Seminary. He be- came one of it's trustees and supporters. Since resigning his charge he has resided in Sudbury much esteemed and beloved. Religious Herald.

HoN. WM. A. WHEELER, yice-president of the United States during President Hayes term, died at his home at Malone, N. Y., last Saturday. It is singular fact that there is now but one ex-yice-p president of the United States living, Hannibal Hamin of Maine, and the office is now vacant, or filed by a presi- dent of the senate, who, however, is not in the order of succession to the presidential of fee in case of vacancy, recent law having made cabinet officials the successors instead.

THE yachtsmen of America have to face the fact that the new challenger, the Thistle, is at least twenty minutes faster than the Genesta in cutter weather over a forty mile course, and probably three-quarters of an hour faster in very light winds, such as are only too prevalent in New York bay on re- gatta days. General Paine, the owner of the Mayfower, in view of this last victory of the Thistle, does not hesitate to express the opinion that there is no yacht now afoat in America as fast as the Thistle, and that there fore the question of holding the cup this year is matter of considerable doubt The Americans have, however, the consolation that they have driven the Britons to building after their own models, the Thistle being of the 'fskimming dish" pattern so derided by those who have now adopted it.

 It is an interesting fact that the entire bench of the supreme court has been re- constituted since the republican party came into power in 1861. To some extent 1t has represented the ideas of that party on constitutional questions. Two of the present judges, Miller and Field, were appointed during the war, and Bradley came upon the bench during what may be called the reconstruction period. It is an- other interesting fact that if Mr. Cleveland should be president for two terms, it is al- together likely that he will have the op- portunity to change the majority of the court. He has vacancy to fill now, and four of the judges-W Waite, the chief justice, Miller, Field, and BradleY-have already passed the age of TO, and are entitled 10 retire without loss of salary whenever they feel inclined. Before March, 1893, Justice Bradley will have reached the age of 80 and the other three mentioned will be ", and it IS not likely that at that date they will still be in active service on the bench During Buchanan's administration, when the Dred Scott decision was made, of the 9 judges, including Chief-Justice Fancy. were from the slave states, and ' of the were democrats.

The New Hampshire legislature has to elect senator to fill the unexpired term of the late Senator Pike, now occupied by Person c. Cheney, appointed by the gov ernor. It also has to consider whether it shall not elect successor for the same senator whose term will expire March 4, 1889. Rhe next legislature will not meet until June, 1889, three months after the senatorial term will begin. A majority of the republicans of the present legislature are of opinion that they should elect both for the short term and the long term. The democrats and a minority of the republi- cans are opposed to electing long term senator at present. That MT. Chandler will be elected for the short term is con sidered certain

 Says Prentice Mulford You can live better sil Boston on sra week than you can in New York for SIP. You can buy more baked beans in Boston for 10 cents than i'll New York for 20 cents. You can get in Boston 3 roomier street car, and a cleaner one and a slower one, and nearly always civil reply from the conductor. You have in Boston more girl walters at the restaurants and more ttsasso from them. You have in Boston better average Sun day sermon, especially if you hear Phillip Brooks, who breaches inside or outside his creed, just as his inspiration takes him, and manages so to sugar-coat liberal pill that Cotton Mather himself would not know what he'd really swallowed. Brooks doesn t tell what he breaches he simply breaches it. It's astonishing what people will take now from the pulpit so long as they're not told the label on the bottle :; they hkeiit, too.

 The annual meeting of the National Ed ucational Association will be held in Chi cago, July 12 to 15. This furnishes the occasion for the great summer excursions for teachers and their friends. Five thous- and gathered at Madison, Wisconsin, two years ago, an immense number met at To peka last year, and the coming meeting at Chicago promises to be the equal, both in numbers and interest, of any that have preceded it. Railroads and hotels vie with one another in making favorable rates for people focking to this great meeting, and in promoting their happiness on the way and at the place of meeting.
 The excursion from Connecticut by the Green Mountain line will be particularly attractive. The special Pullman train will leave Springfield, Mass, Saturday, July 9th, at 1.15 p. m. To connect with this train excursionists will leave Bridgeport at 10.30 a. m. New Haven II a. m. ]; Hartford 12.05. People in any part of the state, by consulting local timetables, can easily determine at what hour they must leave home in order to connect at Spring field.
 Joining the Massachusetts people at the latter place and at Bellows Falls, the par ty will spend Sunday in Montreal, will make shorter stops at, Toronto, Point Ed wards, &c, reaching Chicago at o'clock Tuesday morning. Special points of in terest on the way will be the Adirondack and Green Mountain ranges, Lake Cham plain, the St. Lawrence river and its im- mense tubular Victoria bridge, and Nj agara's 'tfast-fowing tide"
 The fare for the round trip from Spring field is $S22-return tickets goods to Sept 10-including side-trip to Niagara with out additional charge. Sleeping accom- modations extra, of course. Tickets can also be bought at Willjmantic or Palmer stations for $22, and trains taken at those points.
 For full information and Pullman &C., 1 commodations- must be secured in advance address Mark Pitman, principal of Woolsey School, 83 ChuTch-st., New Haven, Conn.
 Excursions from Chicago to San Fran cisco Portland, Oregon, and other points in the great west, will be arranged on more favorable terms than ever before. The providential Interpretation of the inter state commerce law compels the railroad companies to make "open rates, so that all other people may avail themselves of the special terms offered to teachers.

Cora Bell, the young woman with whom Taylor, one of the self-confessed Ernst murders lived, who voluntarily went to New Haven to testify against him and was domiciled at the jail awaiting the trial, has left for parts unknown. It seems that she was not held on any legal process, became dissatisfied with her self-imposed confine- ment, and few days ago expressed a de- sire to take walk for exercise The iail- or granted the desired permission, but she failed to return, and has not since been heard from. It is thought that the case against Taylor and Chamberlain will be materially weakened unless she can be produced at the trial.

continental customs cannot be 80 classed ;
neither can their efforts to over
